World values = women of lower value
There is a backlash against women's rights.
There. I said it.
The UNDP's World Values Survey, results out today, shows this reality:
*Almost 90% of people are biased against women.
Yes there's been progress in closing the equality gap, BUT
*91% of men, 86% of women hold at least one bias against women in relation to politics, economics, education, violence or reproductive rights.
*Almost half feel men are superior political leaders.
*More than 40% believe men make better business executives.
*Almost a third of men & women think it’s acceptable for a man to beat his wife.
*Of 75 countries studied, only 6 had a majority of people who held no bias towards women.
The director of the human development report office is shocked by the figures. Are you?
When it comes to enabling women at work - eg training that's specific to them, I am told by global companies - off the record - that they don't want to offer women-centric training.
Is it a push back the pushback? Yes I am told.
This is a HUGE issue. What can you do about it?
I created S.H.E.Strategy. It's what I can do to help. Will it fix everything? No. Will it help those who go through it? Yes.
If you want to help women at work stay successful & sane, enrol on SHEStrategy.

Must be that time again to talk about GHOSTING by recruiters
In the past month, I had 3 recruiters reach out to me and we had excellent conversations. They were so excited about my experience, they even responded to my thank you emails. Now-crickets. These are recruiters on staff with the organizations they represent. Anyone care to offer insight into this behavior?

A dream role position has landed on my plate while I’m not feeling my very best due to a health issue .
I’m okay 65-70% percent of time but lately it’s been flaring . I don’t want to lose the opportunity and feel I should at least try and do my best . im praying to god , to help me land this job only if its meant to be as im afraid my health “might “ affect my performance . I’m currently still going through the interview process . Would like some feedback from some mid -senior level professionals . Has anyone been in this situation before ?

Opinion on secondment
I've been in my company for 9 months .
The perfect secondment opportunity came up .
My manager said to meet the secondment manager.
However, my meeting didn't go well.
I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.
The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .
But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.
I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.
I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.
How do you determine if the secondment is right for you

How long should you stay in a position or company? Do you think there is a standard time?
Curious to know others thoughts on this topic. I've been hearing 2-5 years. I think there are multiple factors that determines the time such as security, money, toxic space, they love the role or company, it's not your career goal, they're bored etc
